101 Corporations

101 Corporations describes the businesses - large and small - with whom your Traveller players may interact. Whether they are interested in buying a MegaboingTM Grav Pogo Stick from FAMILLE SPOFULAM or a patron wants them to transport a geneered ‘dragon’ from HYPAGENE, the main purpose of every business is to separate their customers from their hard-earned cash. Sometimes, they don’t care what they have to do to get it...

Included are:

101 Corporations of every size and type

A brief description of their background, motivations and key characters

Intentionally designed to be generic and usable with any of the Traveller rule systems, 101 Corporations is part of the BITS series of aids for Traveller referees; combined with 101 Governments and 101 Religions it helps flesh out new worlds, or combined with 101 Cargos or 101 Starcrews it adds background to cargo shipments and the employers or owners of starships encountered by your adventurers.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
